It was icy at the park down the street. I hate everything about this.

A day in Rome. A 400 year old church where I lit candles and prayed for the well being of the world. Then the colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman forum, ancient history reminding me that not much has changed. But it was a gorgeous day.

A walk along the Amalfi coast and lunch of margehrita pizza with burrata and an icy Negroni. I couldn’t finish either one, but yum!

I had 79 weeks of meditation before I became ill with the flu and then covid. I didnt meditate for two weeks. Back at it for two weks now. At least the app retained my days and hours.

Back to meditating and setting my intentions for the day. I refuse to let the disaster created by the current admin in this country destroy my equilibrium. And I will continue to resist their efforts as best as I can. That takes effort and intentionality.

Monsoon thunderstorms all night! 1-2 inches of rain. Cool 70 degrees this morning, lovely outside with a cup of coffee.

About to offer the invocation to begin the town council meeting. Something I’ve done in different cities I’ve lived in these 25 years of ministry.

Monday. Silence.

Begin each day in silence, breathing, listening for the voice of hope in a world of greed and despair, building stamina to continue. Persist. Resist.

After days of high temps and rising humidity, a seasonally appropriate “monsoon” rainstorm. Last time we had rain was in March and that was unusual. But we’ll take it.

103. Outside under a fan with a glass of icy iced tea. Grandkids in a big blow up pool. Popcicles will be necessary in a bit.

My dog always eats lying down. He’s only 2. Been doing this since we adopted him when he was 4 months old. He’s a nut. But my old dog with hip dysplasia thanks him because he taught her that eating this way is just fine.

While at Tubac we purchased a loaf of sourdough bread with mesquite flour made from mesquite beans that she dried and ground into flour. Delicious! Also for dinner smoked pork, potato salad, coleslaw and a glass of claret.

Seeking peace to have the stamina to resist. Begin each day with 40 minutes of silence.

40 minutes of silence to begin this Easter morning. May we have the courage of Mary Magdalene to resist the oppression and proclaim justice for all as the love of God rises again.

I don’t golf. (Trump snark) I do try each day to contribute to healing and helping in this world. I begin with 40 minutes of silence to build my stamina and pray that all will be well. Some how.

Thursday. An early start bc I was awake. 40 minutes of silence. Another day in dystopia, another day of resistance and the work for justice.

Every day. 40 minutes. Silence. It helps.

Every morning begins with silence. 40 minutes. Preparing for another day in dystopia. I’ve stopped all news sources except for the briefest reviews to stay apprised. Nothing seems capable of holding this admin accountable as he, they dismantle it all. Persist and resist and hope

Terri Cole Pilarski @mompriest.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
Silence. 40 minutes. Inventory of my interior state. Set my intentions for the day. Peace so that I have stamina to meet the dystopian reality with resistance and persist.
